Unanswered: Carrousel/scrollable slows down CPU and touchmove events

I'm developing a tablet app with ST2 for taking designer cake orders. Upon reviewing the order, the app asks for the customers signature on the tablet. This is done using a HTML5 canvas and the touchmove event.

The following happens on an iPad 3 with iOS 6 with the app running as a native PhoneGap wrapped app (thus, Javascript is slower as it runs in UIWebView).

When testing the draw speed in the canvas in the first screen of the app, drawing is smooth and responsive, with the drawed line following the finger at the same speed. See screenshot:

However, the canvas isn't supposed to appear in the first screen (I did this manually for testing purposes). The problem comes when the user advances through the app's interface, which are 6 separate views contained in a carrousel (did this because the client required the ability to swipe left/right on the screen to switch between views).

When the user is at the 6th (last) view within the carrousel, the drawing speed in the canvas is really slow, as drawed lines are linear rather than curved (following the exact path of the finger), and when the finger is moved quickly, a delay of about 0.5-1.0 seconds between the finger position and the line position is noticeable. See screenshot:

This slowed down the draw speed in an almost identical manner as if I was replicating the problem in my iPad.

So, there must be something going on with the carrousel or with the scrollable panel in the view that's behind the canvas overlay that's keeping the main thread busy enough to not fire the touchmove events quickly enough.

What are your insights on what could be causing this and how I can get around it?

Well, there are 5 items prior to the carrousel item (the last one I uploaded) where the signature is drawn. Here are the screenshots of those carrousel items so you can have a better idea of the contents rendered, which I believe the only ones that affect the performance is the item before and the one after, as the carrousel in ST2 only renders 3 items (before, current, after) at once, right?
